A forged wedge with enough bite to hold a green.
The head's 1020 carbon steel, soft enough that you'll feel exactly where the ball left the face. Grooves are CNC-milled, and the face is sandblasted around them so it grabs the ball on the way up instead of sliding under it. You pick the sole: K grind if you take a normal divot and want one wedge that handles everything, S grind if you sweep it or play off tight lies. Same head, same steel, same price either way.
The gold will wear on the sole eventually. Every colored club does, and it doesn't change a thing about how the wedge plays.
